Had a great time at the community Sports Day yesterday. It was so rewarding to see so many smiling faces on those mentally and physically challenged children. They loved the jet skis most I think. At the fish tank every kid caught a fish. Every kid who got on the ham radio talked to someone in Europe. They also enjoyed the kayaks, pontoon boat, hand cycles, speedboat, paintball target shoot, golf, petting zoo, pony rides and softball. The softball game was especially exciting. A girl’s Little League team was there to play against the participants. And the Little League girls played just terrible enough to guarantee that each of the participants got a Home Run. On one play, a girl hit a grounder to the pitcher’s mound. In a normal game, it would have been an easy out. The Little Leaguer dived on it. Then another girl called it and dived on top of her. Then there was a pile-up, which allowed the batter to pass second. Then two Little Leaguers started “fighting” over who had possession of the ball, allowing the runner to round third and head for home. Then a well-placed throw over the catcher’s head allowed the runner to score! It was hilarious!
